Katrina entered into a contract to purchase a computer system from Stacey Systems after a call from Stacey System's sales representative who mistakenly informed Katrina that she would receive a 40 percent discount. When Katrina is billed for the full amount, her only recourse is to pay the bill and bring an action against Stacey Systems and the sales representative for the difference.
